Dark Road ► Dark Road: Chapter 3 - The Purpose of the Journey

[Idreamaboutcats]

Hmmm…maybe. I did say it was just a hypothetical scenario.

The Avengers thing was something that just came to mind over how Disney can be ruthless with financial losses and might hold it over their heads. Well, whatever the case, there’s a lot of recycled character designs going around. Sora’s a prime example of it.

Btw, why is everyone assuming I’m “dude” and “guy” all of a sudden? Eh whatever.

Any word when chapter 4 is coming or are we just going to presume that they’ve moved updates from end to start of the months instead now?

My dude, chill with the dramatics.

Nomura has arguably worked on Versus XIII/XV for almost a decade, of course, he'd take inspirations from that and integrate it into Kingdom Hearts. If you've worked on a creative project for that long only for it to be ultimately canned, the smartest thing you can do from the failed project is to sample what worked and amalgamate it in a project that's more functional, that's just how artistic media development works. I don't get why you're bringing Avengers into the discussion when that game was published by Square Enix Europe/Eidos Interactive

And by the way, Nomura loves to recycle character designs, he's not just obsessed with Noctis.

Reno/Axel come to mind as well.

Reno/Axel come to mind as well.

Well, that one was intentional since Nomura wanted to see how one of his characters would perform when transplanted into a different series (paraphrasing).

Why do they even bother giving a new name when it's the same guy right down to the voice and hair color? Because Reno sounds bad if an X is added on it? Well, whatever.

Forget the character designs for a while, it's moving off topic. Back to Darkness, at least we now know it can take on not only pureblood heartless forms and people, but also emblem heartless, even if it is a leftover projection from the book. I can't help but wonder if maybe...

Because ultimately they're not meant to be the same people, just sharing the same design.

True. Unlike Zack Fair in Birth by Sleep, Reno and Axel are similar, but not exactly the same.

I must confess these days I've been waiting for some Baldr artwork from Nomura, since he wasn't in the other key visual with the group,

Do you have anything worthwhile to add or is that it?

I like the franchise and hoped to make friendly conversations but if you want to be toxic I guess I’ll just put out my opinion, I’m glad they are continuing giving us content since the last part made it look like it ended already with Xehanort leaving

Dude, you literally just said "Spoilers" and bounced. Everyone'd be happy to discuss with you but you have to contribute something more substantial than a single word.

FRICK I'M EDITING THIS I FORGOT TO PUT SPOILER TAG I'M SORRY

Spoiler Show

So, Xehanort knows about another world that is possibly called Quadratum, that's apparently fictional, or at least fictional from this side of reality. Something tells me that he knew about Quadratum from even when he was a boy... Did this "unreality" have something to do with the deaths of his four friends? Did he vow to find Quadratum to... avenge his friends? Make them proud? Find out what killed them?

And, the whole point of the Dark Seeker Saga- WHY does Xehanort want Kingdom Hearts? He wants to make the world equally light and darkness, because he's curious about what would happen. And Quadratum is a place where neither light nor darkness exists... So... Did he need Kingdom Hearts to get to Quadratum, or to somehow plunge the world in both light and darkness...?

BUT ALSO, less related to Dark Road but MoM hates darkness and wants to destroy the world to get rid of all the darkness, right? MoM knows about this Quadratum place where neither light nor darkness exists. Does he want to bring Sora and his friends there so... they bring light to Quadratum without bringing darkness?

Your fine I’ll just forget and play it later so I can still enjoy it lol

I don't know why I read that.

Uhh... I recommend to preface spoiler tags with the name of the game you're talking about to minimize accidental spoiling. If we could try to keep these threads free of MoM spoilers until December 13th, that'd be cool too.

I still spoiled people? I'm so sorry, I'll delete that.
